Spring Pastels

Well we're still waiting for Spring to arrive in the North East - yesterday it started to snow on my way to work in Durham and this morning I had to de-ice the car!

 Never mind, it doesn't stop me being inspired by the pastel shades associated with Spring and Easter - this is for a colleague at work who is celebrating a milestone birthday.


The rose is a gorgeous digi by Birdie Brown - I've printed it a few times on pink paper and the layered it for a decoupage effect. I created the numbers in Word and changed the outline to a dash rather than a continuous line to match the digi - ditto with the blue matting paper. The embossed backing sheet was done with a free butterfly and flower embossing folder that came with a magazine.

I've entered this into the following challenges:

Divas By Design - Spring Colours
Ruby's Rainbow - Happy Birthday
Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday

    Love that rose!! ... gorgeous with the layers. Fabulous idea to use Word to create your large numbers and use the dash line - so perfect. Great spring colors and perfectly matched with your flower and butterfly embossed background. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps & More. Loll :)
